Spinach Stuffed Bone-In Pork Chops
1 large Bone-In Pork Chop
1C Fresh Spinach (or frozen, if you don't have fresh, thawed and squeezed out)
1/4C Onion, diced
1 Clove Garlic, minced
1oz - 2oz goat cheese (depending on how cheesy you're feeling)
1t Fresh Rosemary, Thyme
Salt and Pepper
Olive Oil

METHOD
Filling
Saute spinach in pan with olive oil. Once wilted down, remove from pan and squeeze all the water out that you can and set aside in bowl. If using frozen, skip this step, you're already done! In same pan, add a bit of olive oil and saute onions 2-3 mins. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add onion mix to spinach. Add goat cheese and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Chop
Find a nice, thick flat side of the chop. Make a small lateral incision, appx 2" long. Working carefully, place the chop on a cutting board and, keeping your knife parallel to the counter, cut a pocket into the center of the chop. I always make my pocket as big as possible, leaving about 1/2" on all sides between the edged of the pocket and the outside edge of the chop (this gives you the MAX amount of space to evenly add your filling, so you get a bit in every bite!!)

Now it's time for stuffing - Push as much stuffing as you can into the incision, working it all the way to the back and trying to space it evenly. Once stuffed, rub the chop with olive oil and season with salt an pepper.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Heat an oven-safe saute pan over medium-high heat. Add pork chop (you should hear sizzling). Cook 3-4 minutes, until golden-brown. Carefully flip chop, taking note not to spill the filling out. Immediately transfer saute pan to oven and cook 3 more minutes. Remove from oven, remove from pan, and rest 5 minutes.

FINITO!!
